I'm really worried about my mom's condition. The doctors have found she has a ventricular septal defect and mentioned that an operation right now is pretty risky. Is there any other treatment option we could consider to help her?

View allWhat is a heart cough?
Heavy breathing accompanied by spells of wet cough with frothy sputum that may be tinged with blood is called as "Cardiac cough or Heart cough". It is a sign of congestive heart failure. Additional symptoms such as shortness of breath on exertion or rest, leg swelling, waking up from sleep in the middle of night gasping and coughing differentiate heart cough from cough due to lung conditions.

I'm really worried because my blood pressure is at an all-time high, showing readings like 152105, and my heart rate is 101. I'm not feeling well at all. Could this be something serious, and what should I do about it?
"I recommend you take Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily for high blood pressure. For your elevated heart rate, you can take Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) 25mg twice daily. Make sure to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly."
